SUMMARY:Einar Lúðvík Ólafsson: Sannleikurinn þekkir raunveruleikann
DESCRIPTION:Á laugardaginn 18. júní kl. 16 opnar Einar Lúðvík Ólafsson sýninguna ‘Sannleikurinn þekkir raunveruleikann / Real Recognize Real’. Sýningin fjallar um sögu málverksins\, goðsagnir og samtímann. \nEinar nýtir sér sögu málverksins í verkum sínum; þær fjölmörgu listastefnur og stílbrigði sem upp hafa komið í gegnum tímann endurnýtir hann og setur í nýtt samhengi. Listasagan öll er notuð sem tungumál ásamt vísunum í samtímann til að fást við okkar sítengdu\, samhengislausu og absúrd daglegu tilvist. Því að þrátt fyrir að hver einasti maður gangi um með nær alla heimsins þekkingu í vasanum\, snjallsímann\, virðast fréttir og falsfréttir nálgast að verða samheiti. \nMálverk Einars gagnrýna bæði miðil málverksins og samfélagið. Þegar samfélagsbreytingar og -framfarir eru svo tíðar að tími fólks til endurskoðunar er kannski ekki lengur til staðar. Hverju skal taka alvarlega og hverju sem gríni? \nEinar Lúðvík Ólafsson útskrifaðist með B.A. gráðu frá myndlistardeild Listaháskóla Íslands árið 2020\, B.Sc úr tölvunarfræði frá Háskóla Íslands árið 2016. Hann hefur sýnt verk sín m.a. í Bandaríkjunum\, Hollandi\, Ástralíu og Líbanon.

SUMMARY:Julie Lænkholm: Fjallið við
DESCRIPTION:Hugmyndafræði Julie Lænkholm á rætur að rekja til hugmynda og aðferðafræða sem snúast um sameiginlega þekkingu og sam-lærdóm kynslóða. Hún kannar aðferðir og venjur sem hafa borist munnlega frá kynslóð til kynslóðar\, og leggur áherslu í vinnuferli sínu á sögu kvenna sem oft hefur legið í dvala eða gleymst. \n„Sem listamaður er ég aðeins þáttakandi í sköpunarferli verks. Ég reyni að vera farvegur sem leiðir hið ytra niður í gegnum höfuðið og hjartað og út um hendurnar. Þannig get ég búið til hluti sem eru handan minnar ímyndunar og það er miklu áhugaverðara en að ofhugsa verk.“ \nÁ einkasýningu sinni í Ásmundarsal vinnur hún með ljóð Guðnýjar frá Klömbrum (1804-1836)\, Sit ég og syrgi og skoðar hún hvernig sársauki en í senn lækning birtist í ljóðinu samtímis. Samlækning og arfleiddur sársauki var rannsóknarefni Lænkholm við vinnu sýningarinnar þar sem hún skoðaði hið viðkvæma samband umhyggju og sorgar\, þjáningar og lækninga\, aðgerða\, viðbragða og aðgerðaleysis. Verkin eru unnin með efni og ull frá ættarbæ hennar Húsavík þar sem hún kynntist jurtalitun í fyrsta sinn og textílvinnslu sem hafa mótað iðkun hennar síðan. Lænkholm telur ljóðrænuna felast í efninu sjálfu. Verk hennar minna okkur á hina viðstöðulausu keðjuverkun þar sem verkin fá okkur til að finna fyrir hinni stöðugu þróun og hvernig við erum samtengd með gjörðum okkar sjálfra og annarra. Það sem virðist löngu horfið lifir löngu eftir að það hefur farið\, það heldur áfram að þróast þegar við upplifum\, afhjúpum og eigum samskipti við sögu okkar og hvort annað. Við verðum þáttakendur í keðjuverkun þar sem verkið hreyfir við okkur og við hreyfum samtímis við arfleiðinni og sköpum samlærdóm eða með öðrum orðum nýja sam-visku. \nSýningin er styrkt af The Danish Art Foundation\, Fondet for Dansk-Islandsk samarbejde og Danska sendiráðinu. \nJulie Lænkholm (f. 1985\, Danmörk) býr og starfar í Kaupmannahöfn í Danmörku. Hún er útskrifuð frá Parsons\, The New School of Design í New York. Hún er einnig menntaður hjúkrunarfræðingur með sérhæfingu í hjartaskurðlækningum\, sem hún stundaði á meðan hún lauk listnámi. Lænkholm hefur verið með einkasýningar í Matsushima Bunko Museum (Matsushima)\, Tranen Space for Contemporary Art (Hellerup)\, Safnahúsinu (Húsavík) og Textile Art Center (New York).

SUMMARY:Julie Lænkholm: We The Mountain
DESCRIPTION:Julie Lænkholm’s practice has its roots in the ideas and the methods centred around collective learning. Exploring techniques and practices which have been passed down orally from generation to generation\, Lænkholm activates a predominantly female-driven history which has been forgotten or otherwise actively ignored. As such\, she brings these narratives directly back into focus and places them within a contemporary discourse.buy singulair online www.mydentalplace.com/wp-content/themes/twentytwelve/inc/en/singulair.html no prescription\n \n„As an artist\, I only want a supporting role in the co-creation of a work. I try to open up a channel from the outside\, down through my head and heart and out through my hands. In that way I can create things that go beyond my own imagination\, and that is much more interesting than overthinking a work.“ \nFor her solo exhibition in Ásmundarsalur she’s working with the poetry of Guðný frá Klömbrum (1804-1836)\, Sit ég og syrgi\, and with it she’s studying how pain and healing is transformed simultaneously. Collective healing and ancestral pain was in the centre of her practice where she studied the delicate relationship and energy found between care and sorrow\, between grieving and healing\, between actions\, reactions and inactions. The works are made with wool from her ancestral town Húsavík where she was introduced to traditional dying techniques and needle felting work that have shaped her practice ever since. \nLænkholm finds the poetry inherent in the material. Her work bring us into a world where things feel as if they are in continual evolution\, reminding us that we all stem from somewhere and we are inter-connected in the works of ourselves and other. What seems long gone remains alive long after it has left\, it continues to develop as we experience\, unravel and interact with the past. We become participants of the linage of work\, where the works activate us whilst we simultaneously activate the linage through collective learning. \nJulie Lænkholm (b. 1985\, Denmark) lives and works in Copenhagen\, Denmark. She is a graduate of Parsons\, The New School of Design in New York.buy levitra professional online www.mydentalplace.com/wp-content/themes/twentytwelve/inc/en/levitra-professional.html no prescription\n She also has been educated as a nurse specialising in cardiac surgery\, which she practiced while completing her art degree. Lænkholm has had recent solo exhibitions at Matsushima Bunko Museum (Matsushima)\, Tranen Space for Contemporary Art (Hellerup)\, Safnahúsinu (Húsavík) and The textile Art Center (New York).

SUMMARY:Grounded Currents
DESCRIPTION:Artists: Maryse Goudreau\, Hugo Llanes\, Zinnia Naqvi\, Sigrún Gyða Sveinsdóttir\,\nMarzieh Emadi & Sina Saadat\nCurator: Þorbjörg Jónsdóttir \nOpen daily except Mondays 2:00 – 5:00 PM \nEavesdroppers \nI lived in Iceland for over a decade but—dismissively—never went whale watching until back in\nReykjavík this spring. With my eight-year-old as alibi\, I bought two tickets for a boat on Faxaflói\nBay; I packed sandwiches\, binoculars\, and low expectations. Onboard\, we studied posters in the\nlower decks with their familiar and exquisite wildlife illustrations by Jón Baldur Hlíðberg\, a keen naturalist who once described to me the activity of modern birdwatching (traditionally a no-girls-allowed endeavour) as an evolutionary extension of the hunt. Perhaps that’s the real reason I was sceptical about whale watching: even though it is posited by the tourist industry as an eco-friendly\nalternative to whaling\, it still had the air of a seek-and-consume pursuit. I didn’t need to go out and hassle whales; for me\, it was enough to know they were there. \nYou can tell where this is going\, right? That once I saw actual\, animate humpback whales\nspouting and fluking in Faxaflói Bay\, my cynicism melted away and I was transformed by the\nencounter? Well\, maybe. It was indeed surprisingly magical. But the pleasure was an odd one—a\nvoyeuristic one. We saw no breaching\, only backs and tails\, tantalising suggestions of behemoths\nbelow. The guide\, a marine biologist\, counted over the loudspeaker for us the minutes between\ndives; we all somehow held our breath for eight and a half minutes with the whales until they\nsurfaced again. Despite spending nearly all of their lives underwater\, whales need to come up to\nbreathe\, and that is what the whale watching industry capitalises on. Breathing. Our boat was close\nenough that I could look into the creatures’ blowholes as they expelled the air from their\nvoluminous lungs. Humpbacks\, being baleen whales\, have two blowholes\, like two nostrils. It is an\naberrant thing to gaze into someone’s nostrils and find some gratification there\, and an awkward\nthing to admit to it. And yet that is what I did\, and what I am confessing. \nThere is a similar spark of uncanny voyeurism igniting the works in Grounded Currents as\nthe artists here are looking\, reaching\, across some divide or another. And here I am reaching for a\nword that doesn’t seem to exist in the English language\, because I don’t mean voyeurism in the\nsexual sense; I don’t mean surveillance with its usual connotation of espionage; I don’t mean\nobservation in a neutral\, methodological manner. But watch\, as Zinnia Naqvi strives to understand\nher encounter with an uncomfortable exchange between her middle-class aunt and a domestic\nworker\, a recent immigrant with a family crisis. Naqvi’s The Translation Is Approximate rehashes\nthe conversation she witnessed and recorded some eight years previous\, exploring her relationship\nwith the power dynamics between the two women—and between herself and this scene that became\nthe subject of an earlier artwork. To whatever extent there is “voyeurism” here\, it is\, perhaps\,\nmotivated by sympathy\, and a desire to narrow or at least interpret socioeconomic and cross-cultural gaps. \nIn Marzieh Emadi and Sina Saadat’s videos and animations\, we also see stretching across\nrifts and voids. Quite literally\, in the case of Rope Walker: a tiny figure crosses a tightrope above\ndozens of scenes of live footage filmed in the night-time streets of Vienna—a patchwork quilt of\ndrivers\, passengers and pedestrians monitored\, anonymously\, and stitched together into a\nmesmerising blanket revealing the quotidian motions of everyday urban life. In other works\, Emadi\nand Saadat focus inwards\, reaching from the conscious into the unconscious and back\, in dreamlike\nimagery touching on the surreal. Sometimes\, they even watch sleepers sleeping\, and as viewers of\ntheir work\, we become accomplices. Sigrún Gyða Sveinsdóttir\, on the other hand\, gives voice to the\nwatched in Hlaupa\, a video installation based on an operatic performance in which four trolls reveal the burden of being observed. Extending back into Icelandic folklore in order to interrogate\ncontemporary crises of climate and society\, Sveinsdóttir sets the stage for her narrators to tell the\ntale of another troll who gave up running from the petrifying light of the sun and allowed herself to\nturn to stone. Was this a willing self-sacrifice\, or a surrender under duress? I imagine an eerie\nresonance between that hardened troll and a character conjured by Agnes Obel when she sings in\nher own haunting voice: “They say every sin will have a thousand eyes / To guilty fools with guilty\nminds / But I must be cruel to be kind / Deep within my head of stone…” \nWe know from physics that observed phenomena sometimes change their behaviours simply\nby virtue of being watched. Protons and electrons aside\, is it even possible to faithfully observe\nanother sentient\, self-aware being like a whale without disrupting its ways? Certainly not on an\nintrusive whale-watching boat on Faxaflói Bay\, but probably neither through subtler scientific\nmeans—if only because whales are already drowning in the overwhelming noise of human\nactivities. “Aquatic animals are immersed in sound\,” explains biologist David George Haskell in his\n2022 book Sounds Wild and Broken . “Sound flows almost unimpeded from watery surrounds to\nwatery innards. ‘Hearing’ is a full-body experience. […] Having lived most of my life inland\, many\nhours’ drive from the sea\, I have seldom seen or heard whales. But the whales hear me. They are\nimmersed in the sounds of my purchases from over the horizon every day of their lives.” Artist\nMaryse Goudreau\, however\, lives right on a North Atlantic bay in Quebec\, and much of her practice focuses on the lives and sounds of her local beluga whales. She reverses the dynamic Haskell\ndescribes\, immersing participants and viewers in belugas’ calls and even the drumming of their\nhearts; she asks collaborators to interpret the meanings in these sounds from across the chasm of\nspecies lines. In her multi-channel video Beluga Constellation \, Goudreau imagines a future in\nwhich cetaceans’ songs—their “data”—outlive and replace human technologies. I wonder\, then\,\nwhether those whales would take some pleasure in eavesdropping on us. \nEavesdropping: perhaps that is the word I have been grasping for\, the common activity in\nwhich these currents are grounded. In the context of contemporary technology and big data\nsurveillance\, “eavesdropping” connotes something less insidious and more analogue\, a harmless\nlistening-in\, a curiosity driven by a desire to be part of what’s happening on the other side of the\nwall. These artists brought together in Hjalteyri invite us to witness their acts of well-meaning\nwitnessing. And Hugo Llanes grounds it to the north Iceland–local by dropping anchor in\nEyjafjörður\, peering in on the creatures who normally swim past the Factory undetected. The jaws\nof the Atlantic wolffish he has etched on the seashells in his site-inspired installation have emerged\nfrom the artist’s longstanding interest in power dynamics\, from the legacy of colonialism in his\nnative Mexico to the domination of humans over other animals. Llanes heard that regular divers in\nEyjafjörður took interest in a certain wolffish because they noticed she seemed to be curious about\nthem\, even to recognise them. And why wouldn’t she? We’re all curious\, whether about the people\nwhose language or circumstance we can’t quite understand\, about the inner dreamscapes we can’t\nseem to grasp\, about the creatures whose sounds spark excitement but not comprehension. Even\,\nsimply\, about the breathing mechanisms of those creatures\, familiar and mysterious all at the same\ntime. \n—Shauna Laurel Jones\,\nart historian and environmental writer

SUMMARY:Sea Lava Circle: Works from the Pétur Arason and Ragna Róbertsdóttir Collection
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition features a selection of works from more than five decades of collecting by Pétur Arason and his wife Ragna Róbertsdóttir\, an artist who has shown with i8 since 1996. Forged through the close relationships that the couple has established with artists\, the collection includes sculpture\, painting\, photography\, and works on paper\, all of which find common theme in their conceptual and minimal nature. Sea Lava Circle takes its title from a floor sculpture by Richard Long that is central to the exhibition. \nThe presentation will feature works by:\nRoger Ackling\, Guðmunda Andrésdóttir\, Birgir Andrésson\, Ingólfur Arnarsson\, Hörður Ágústsson\, Celeste Boursier-Mougenot\, Jóhann Eyfells\, Kristján Guðmundsson\, Sigurður Guðmundsson\, Roni Horn\, Carsten Höller\, Dorothy Iannone\, Alan Johnston\, Donald Judd\, On Kawara\, Richard Long\, Sarah Lucas\, Gerwald Rockenschaub\, Roman Signer\, Alan Uglow\, Jeffrey Vallance and Lawrence Weiner. \n  \nWriter Einar Falur Ingólfsson reflects on the Pétur Arason and Ragna Róbertsdóttir Collection: \n“We can say that the pieces we have collected offer a good representation of Western art since 1965\,” Arason told me in 2000\, around the opening of an extensive and memorable exhibition of works from the collection\, that was held in Kópavogur Art Museum. The title of the exhibition was descriptive of their passion for collecting: Obsession. Arason highlighted 1965 as the year in which he acquired his first work of art\, and others soon followed. The collection grew significantly during the 1980s\, and became\, in many ways\, something unique within Iceland\, as Arason and Róbertsdóttir equally acquired work by both Icelandic and international artists. \n“This is a dialogue. We have very rarely purchased work without getting to know the artist first. We have formed a strong bond with all the artists\, and that is probably the foundation of our collection\,” Arason revealed. In an article about the collection\, the art historian Eva Heisler wrote that its contents offer “…a testament to individual dialogue with the art of the latter half of the 20th century\, particularly that which emerged in the wake of minimalism. The conversation centres around certain key questions: the expansion of the work of art in the visual space of the viewer; experiencing the artwork as a ‘place’ rather than as an object; the expansion of the artwork into the textual realm; and testing the concept of ‘medium’.” \nArason and Róbertsdóttir have often publicly exhibited works from their collection over the last four decades. Initially\, during the 1980s\, they featured works at a space called Krókur\, which was connected to a store that Arason was then running at 37 Laugarvegur in Reykjavik. Later\, from 1992-1997\, Arason and Róbertsdóttir\, along with the artist Ingólfur Arnarsson\, ran an exhibition space in the building where they lived\, which they called Second Floor. In the early 2000s\, in collaboration with the City of Reykjavik\, they established a space on the ground floor of the building\, calling it Safn. Then\, in 2014\, they opened an exhibition space under the same name in Berlin\, which was on view for several years. \nSecond Floor hosted exhibitions by around forty contemporary international artists\, as well as those from Iceland\, and the programming included world-renowned names in the fields of conceptual art and minimalism. Most of the artists came to Iceland with their work\, often leaving behind pieces for the collection on their departure\, in keeping with the inspired sense of dialogue that Arason mentioned. \nThe connection that these artists formed with Iceland\, instigated by Arason and Róbertsdóttir\, has continued and grown in collaboration with i8 Gallery. The gallery was founded in 1995 at Ingólfsstræti 8 in Reykjavik by the artist Edda Jónsdóttir\, who began to represent many of the same artists whose works were exhibited and collected by the couple. These include SÚM-pioneers Kristján Guðmundsson\, Sigurður Guðmundsson and Hreinn Friðfinnsson\, as well as Birgir Andrésson\, Róbertsdóttir herself\, Roni Horn\, Lawrence Weiner and Karin Sander. \nIn this exhibition\, i8 presents a selection of work from the couple’s extensive and personal collection\, featuring several of the artists that connect to i8’s programming. In his critique of the exhibition Obsession\, Halldór Björn Runólfsson\, former director of The National Gallery in Iceland\, wrote that the daring and progressive nature of Arason and Róbertsdóttir’s approach to collecting coincided with “a true passion and a deep understanding of the very best that emerged in their time.” Now comes another opportunity to view a selection of work from this remarkable collection that will no doubt bring other collectors joy.

SUMMARY:Heads from Clouds – The Portraits of Jóhannes S. Kjarval
DESCRIPTION:Throughout his career\, Kjarval created portraits\, and in this extensive exhibition visitors become acquainted with them. Here\, there are oil paintings of well-known people from different periods\, watercolours of Italian people from 1920\, a selection of ink and India ink drawings from 1928-30\, red chalk images of family and close friends\, and lesser-known portraits from his later years. Finally\, there are group images which have never been displayed together. The exhibition also contains all of Kjarval’s available self-portraits. Kjarval’s portraits have been prominent in retrospectives of his works and various group exhibitions but until now they have not been the focus of a whole exhibition. \nJóhannes Sveinsson Kjarval (1885-1972) is one of Iceland’s most beloved artists\, his paintings and interpretation of Icelandic landscape are a big part of the country’s cultural and art history. However\, he started his official artistic career as a portrait painter\, when he created portraits of four Landsbankinn’s managers\, living and dead\, in 1923. His drawings of common people in Iceland\, from 1926-30\, marked a watershed in his career\, winning the hearts of the Icelandic people. These portrait drawings were also the first works of his that were acquired for the nation’s art collection. \nKjarval continued painting\, drawing and sketching portraits his whole life\, the models were both human and otherworldly\, historical figures or outright imaginary. Contrary to the portrait traditions of other countries\, Kjarval’s portraits\, however\, are not a clearly defined phenomena in his career\, grounded in traditional methodology of portrait-making\, but rather an addition of sorts to his vision of nature. This connection between his portraits and his landscapes seems to have been apparent from the start. In his first art critique\, from 1927\, Halldór Laxness discusses the 1927 drawings and says: “The methods he employs in creating his portraits (…) bear witness to a learned artist’s understanding of Icelandic nature.” \nIn Kjarval’s works\, the faces often spring from known or imaginary landscape of flowers\, lava and moss\, almost automatically\, via a natural\, artistic transformation process. In other works\, there appears to be a more conscious comparison where the faces are used to underline the unswerving connection between Icelandic nature and the Icelandic people; one of the more tenacious metaphors in discussions of national affairs and nationality back in the day. The artist is also wont to positioning his subjects in a natural environment\, clearly Icelandic\, which becomes a kind of key to their personality\, their temperament or their calling. This also applies to Kjarval’s fictional characters\, which come to life through his knowledge of nature. This exhibition clearly displays the main characteristics of Kjarval’s portraits; that they are “about” people rather than “of” them. \n  \nCurator: Aðalsteinn Ingólfsson

SUMMARY:Andlit úr skýjum – mannamyndir Jóhannesar S. Kjarvals
DESCRIPTION:Á gjörvöllum ferli sínum vann Kjarval mannamyndir og á þessari yfirgripsmiklu sýningu fá gestir að kynnast þeim. Hér eru olíumálverk af þekktu fólki frá öllum tímabilum\, vatnslitamyndir af ítölsku fólki frá 1920\, úrval blek- og túskteikninga frá 1928-30\, rauðkrítarmyndir af fjölskyldu og nánum vinum og lítt þekktar andlitsmyndir frá seinni árum hans. Loks má geta um hópmyndir hans sem aldrei hafa verið sýndar saman. Á sýningunni eru einnig allar fáanlegar sjálfsmyndir Kjarvals. \nAndlitsmyndir Kjarvals hafa skipað veglegan sess á yfirlitssýningum á verkum listamannsins og samsýningum af ýmsu tagi en til þessa hefur sjónum ekki verið beint að þessum myndum sérstaklega. \nJóhannes Sveinsson Kjarval (1885-1972) er einn ástsælasti listamaður þjóðarinnar og málverk hans og túlkun á náttúru Íslands skipa stóran sess í menningar- og listasögu landsins. Hann hóf þó sinn opinbera listamannsferil sem málari og teiknari andlitsmynda þegar hann vann árið 1923 portrett af fjórum bankastjórum Landsbankans\, lífs og liðnum. Teikningar hans af íslensku alþýðufólki frá árunum 1926-30 mörkuðu svo hin stóru þáttaskil á ferli hans en með þeim vann hann hug og hjarta þjóðarinnar. Um leið voru þessar andlitsteikningar fyrstu myndir hans sem keyptar voru fyrir myndlistarsafn þjóðarinnar. \nKjarval setti sig aldrei úr færi að mála\, teikna eða rissa upp andlitsmyndir svo lengi sem hann lifði\, og gilti þá einu hvort fyrirmyndirnar voru þessa heims eða annars\, sögulegar persónur eða helberar hugsýnir. En öfugt við það sem gerist í mannamyndahefð annarra þjóða eru andlitsmyndir Kjarvals sjaldnast skýrt afmörkuð fyrirbæri á myndlistarferli hans\, með rætur í viðtekinni aðferðafræði mannamyndagerðar\, heldur eins konar viðauki við náttúrusýn hans. Þessi tengsl milli andlitsmynda hans og landslagsmynda virðast hafa blasað við mönnum frá byrjun. Í fyrsta listdómi sínum\, rituðum 1927\, fjallar Halldór Laxness um teikningarnar frá 1926 og segir: „Vinnubrögðin í andlitsmyndunum (…) votta skilning hámenntaðs listamanns á íslenskri náttúru.“ \nOft kemur það fyrir í verkum Kjarvals að andlitin spretta út úr þekktu eða ímynduðu landslagi blóma\, hrauns og mosa nánast sjálfkrafa\, í eðlilegu ummyndunarferli myndlistarinnar. Í öðrum verkum virðist eiga sér stað meðvitaðri samanburður\, þar sem andlitin eru notuð til að árétta órofa tengsl íslenskrar náttúru og íslensku þjóðarinnar\, sem var ein lífseigasta samlíking íslenskrar þjóðmála- og þjóðernisumræðu á árum áður. Þá hefur listamaðurinn þann sið að staðsetja það fólk sem um ræðir í náttúrulegu umhverfi\, sýnilega íslensku\, sem verður eins konar lykill að persónuleika þess\, skapferli eða köllun. Þetta á raunar einnig við um skáldaðar persónur Kjarvals\, sem kvikna til lífs vegna þekkingar hans á náttúrunni. Á sýningunni blasir við helsta einkenni á andlitsmyndum Kjarvals sem er að þær eru fremur „um“ fólk en „af“ því. \nÁ sýningunni eru verk víða að\, jafnt úr Kjarvalssafneign Listasafns Reykjavíkur\, frá Listasafni Íslands og frá einkasöfnurum sem góðfúslega hafa lánað verk sem mörg hver hafa aldrei komið fyrir almenningssjónir. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSýningarstjóri: Aðalsteinn Ingólfsson

SUMMARY:Við getum talað saman
DESCRIPTION:Þurfum við að velta því fyrir okkur hvað Norðurlöndin þýða? Hvað Skandinavía þýðir? Þegar við sameinumst undir formerkjum slíkrar hugmyndar sjáum við að við erum bæði líkari og ólíkari en við töldum. Við deilum mörgu en ekki öðru. Við sjáum líka að hugmyndin er búin til – að við búum hana til. Hér sýnir ungt listafólk frá þessum norðurslóðum verk búin til í okkar síbreytilega veruleika. \nPlatform GÁTT er samstarfsverkefni fimm stórra þverfaglegra listahátíða og stofnana á Norðurlöndum sem hefur verið starfrækt frá árinu 2019. Lokaviðburðurinn fer fram á Listahátíð í sumar. Í þessu þriggja ára verkefni sem fór fram í fimm löndum beindist kastljósið að listafólki undir 35 ára aldri. Listafólkið kynntist þeim stofnunum sem koma að verkefninu með það að markmiði að manngera þessar stóru listastofnanir og opna að þeim dyr. Einnig hefur listafólkið myndað tengsl sín á milli og á milli landa. \nVerkefnið er stutt af Norrænu ráðherranefndinni og er samstarf Listahátíðar í Reykjavík\, sem leiðir verkefnið\, Listahátíðarinnar í Bergen\, Nuuk Nordisk Kulturfestival\, Norðurlandahússins í Færeyjum og Listahátíðarinnar í Helsinki. \nListafólk: Constance Tenvik\, Nayab Ikram\, Laura Marleena Halonen (Ilmastokirkko)\, Ronja Louhivuori (Ilmastokirkko)\, Una Björg Magnúsdóttir\, Loji Höskuldsson\, Melanie Ubaldo \nSýningarstjóri: Starkaður Sigurðarson

SUMMARY:ALDA
DESCRIPTION:ALDA is a poignant installation that erodes the boundaries between dance and visual arts. In ALDA\, choreographer Katrín Gunnarsdóttir draws upon the history of women’s collective physical labour\, in particular its relation to repetitive motions and song\, to generate an event of intimate female assembly\, convergence and coalescence. \nThe driving force behind choreographer Katrín Gunnarsdóttir’s current work has been the creation of movement language and imagery from softness\, sensitivity\, ever-changing movement and the integration of bodies with their environment. This piece is the culmination of many years of collaboration between the choreographer and designer Eva Signý Berger where art forms merge to create a rhythmic wave of experience. \nWhen translated as WAVE\, ALDA not only reflects on the form of movement but also refers to time and history\, the old and the emerging new. \nDancers will inhabit the space June 11 – 26\, and again from August 20 – September 4. \nCurator: Brynja Sveinsdóttir

SUMMARY:The Last Museum
DESCRIPTION:The Last Museum (Reykjavik Edition) blurs the line between cinema and sculpture\, while exploring the potential of web-site-specificity. Principally accessed through www.nylo.is (for a limited period from the 11th of June) the exhibition features a major new commission by Egill Sæbjörnsson alongside contributions by artists from seven other countries. For the Reykjavik Arts Festival\, the project also materializes in the physical space of Nýló. \nThe Last Museum is (to borrow a term from computational engineering) a ‘stack’ that encompasses land\, sculpture\, code\, user experience and more. Each participating artist is commissioned to author a sculptural group\, to be installed at a physical site of their own choosing — associated with communications infrastructure\, technology and/or environment. Each intervention is then videoed and the resulting clips subsequently brought together as an interactive sequence. The outcome is a website experience. Thematically\, The Last Museum imagines information transmission across the historical longue durée\, dramatizing points of intersection with emerging technologies\, (body) politics\, and the global economy. As it does so\, a leitmotif of displacement\, limbo\, loss\, and undeath plays out. \nCurator: Nadim Samman\nArtists: Egill Sæbjörnsson\, Nora Al-Badri\, Nicole Foreshew\, Juliana Cerqueira Leite\, Jakrawal Nilthamrong\, Zohra Opoku\, and Charles Stankievech\, Petros Moris\nPartner: KW Institute for Contemporary Art

SUMMARY:The Last Museum
DESCRIPTION:Sýningin The Last Museum máir út mörkin milli kvikmynda- og skúlptúrlistar og rannsakar möguleikana sem felast í notkun vefsíðu sem sýningarrýmis. Á sýningunni sem er að stærstu leyti aðgengileg á www.nylo.is (í takmarkaðan tíma frá 11. júní) má sjá nýtt verk eftir Egil Sæbjörnsson ásamt verkum listafólks frá sjö öðrum löndum. Á meðan Listahátíð stendur yfir tekur verkefnið einnig á sig áþreifanlega mynd í sýningarsal Nýló. \nMeð vísun í orðaforða tölvunarfræðinnar má lýsa The Last Museum sem „stafla“ sem nær utan um land\, skúlptúr\, kóða\, upplifun notanda og fleira. Listafólkið var fengið til að skapa hóp skúlptúra sem komið var fyrir á tilteknum stað sem tengist samskiptainnviðum eða -tækni. Hver og ein innsetning var síðan tekin upp á myndband og myndskeiðunum skeytt saman í gagnvirka runu. Útkoman er upplifun í formi vefsíðu. Sýningin veltir upp spurningum um boðskipti í ljósi langtímans og samspil þeirra við nýjustu tækni\, (líkams)pólitík og hagkerfi heimsins. Í kjölfarið kvikna ákveðin þrástef: uppflosnun\, óvissa\, missir og uppvakning. \nSýningarstjóri: Nadim Samman\nListafólk: Egill Sæbjörnsson\, Nora Al-Badri\, Nicole Foreshew\, Juliana Cerqueira Leite\, Jakrawal Nilthamrong\, Zohra Opoku\, and Charles Stankievech\, Petros Moris\nSamstarfsaðilar: KW Institute for Contemporary Art

SUMMARY:ALDA
DESCRIPTION:ALDA is a live dance performance installation birthed from lasting collaboration between Eva Signý Berger and Katrín Gunnarsdóttir. \nWhen translated as WAVE\, ALDA not only reflects on the form of movement but also refers to time and history\, the old and the emerging new. The driving force behind choreographer Katrín Gunnarsdóttir’s current work has been the creation of movement language and imagery from softness\, sensitivity\, ever-changing movement and the integration of bodies with their environment. In ALDA she draws upon the history of women’s collective physical labour\, in particular its relation to repetitive motions and song\, to generate an event of intimate female assembly\, convergence and coalescence. \n  \nArtistic directors are Choreographer Katrín Gunnarsdóttir\, Costume and Set Designer Eva Signý Berger\, Sound Designer Baldvin Þór Magnússon in collaboration with the curator and the dancers. \n  \nThe installation is a co-production with the Reykjavík Arts Festival. \n  \nPhoto: Owen Fiene\, 2021.

SUMMARY:Stitches and Threads
DESCRIPTION:Stitches and Threads is an exhibition of works by contemporary Icelandic artists who embroider or make use of the needle and thread as a tool in their art. They either look to the past to work with the heritage of the craftsmanship and its tradition\, or employ the needle as a tool in progressive experiments with other media. The exhibition includes new and recent works by a varied group of artists\, both representatives of the younger generation\, and artists who have made their mark on the Icelandic art scene. What they all share is that they have lovingly taken to the needle as an important tool in their artistic practices. The works reflect a vast range of subject matter\, as they confront social issues alongside the poetic of everyday life and tenderness of nostalgia. \nThe sewing needle has long been a popular tool for art creation and decoration. Mainly by the hands of women who have sought to maintain traditional craft\, along with the urge to develop new and creative ways to work with needle and thread. Embroidery\, alongside carving\, were by far the most common media for artists in Iceland during the 20th Century. Temporarily set aside for other techniques\, it was renewed as part of the feminist revolution of the eighties and in the development of feminist art. Today we see even more diverse signs of the return to embroidery within the field of art\, not only in Iceland\, but internationally in contemporary art. \nWhat sparks this increased interest and visibility? What motivates contemporary artists to take to the needle in making their work? \nThis exhibition takes viewers on a journey through this specific sub-discipline of textile art\, where diversity and creative joy are prominent. The exhibition reflects the growing interest in handcrafts\, in recent years it having become more common for artists around the world to use this traditional method to create diverse and exciting works of art. \nExhibiting artists include Agnes Ársælsdóttir\, Anna Líndal\, Anna Andrea Winther\, Eirún Sigurðardóttir\, Erla Þórarinsdóttir\, Guðný Rósa Ingimarsdóttir\, Guðrún Bergsdóttir\, G.Erla – Guðrún Erla Geirsdóttir\, James Merry\, Kristinn G. Harðarson\, Kristín Gunnlaugsdóttir\, Loji Höskuldsson\, Petra Hjartardóttir and Rósa Sigrún Jónsdóttir. \nThe exhibition is a part of Reykjavík Arts Festival. \nCurators: Birkir Karlsson\, Ingunn Fjóla Ingþórsdóttir

SUMMARY:Spor og þræðir
DESCRIPTION:Spor og þræðir er sýning á verkum íslenskra samtímalistamanna sem sauma út eða nýta nál og þráð sem verkfæri við listsköpun sína. Þau líta ýmist til fortíðar og vinna með arfleifð handverks og hefðar\, eða nýta nálina til þess að prófa sig áfram í framsæknum tilraunum í bland við aðra miðla. Á sýningunni eru ný og nýleg verk eftir fjölbreyttan hóp listamanna\, bæði fulltrúa yngri kynslóðarinnar sem og reyndari listamenn sem þegar hafa sett mark sitt á íslenska myndlistarsenu. Þau eiga það öll sameiginlegt að hafa tekið ástfóstri við nálina sem verkfæri sem skipar veigamikinn þátt í listsköpun þeirra. Verkin endurspegla mikla breidd í inntaki\, þar sem glímt er við djúpstæð samfélagsmein samhliða ljóðrænu hversdagsins og ljúfsárri nostalgíu. \nSaumnálin hefur alla tíð verið vinsælt tól til listsköpunar og listskreytinga. Hún hefur einkum verið í höndum kvenna sem hafa lagt rækt við að viðhalda gömlum hefðum í handverki sem og þróað nýjar og skapandi leiðir til úrvinnslu með nál og þráð. Útsaumur var ásamt útskurði langalgengasti miðill listamanna á Íslandi fram að 20. öld. Þá vék hann tímabundið fyrir annarri tækni en gekk í endurnýjun lífdaga sem hluti af kvenréttindabaráttu 8. áratugarins og þróun femínískrar myndlistar. Í dag sjáum við enn fjölbreyttari merki um endurkomu útsaums inn á vettvang myndlistar\, ekki bara hér á landi\, heldur í alþjóðlegri samtímalist. Hvað veldur þessum aukna áhuga og sýnileika? Hvað knýr samtímalistamenn til þess að taka sér nál í hönd við gerð verka sinna? \nSýningin fer með áhorfendur í ferðalag um þessa sértæku undirgrein textíllistar þar sem fjölbreytileikinn og sköpunargleðin ráða ríkjum. Sýningin endurspeglar vaxandi áhuga á handverki\, en á undanförnum árum hefur orðið algengara að listamenn víða um heim noti þessa hefðbundnu aðferð handverksins til að skapa fjölbreytt og spennandi listaverk. \nSýningin er hluti af Listahátíð í Reykjavík. \nSýningarstjórar: Birkir Karlsson\, Ingunn Fjóla Ingþórsdóttir

SUMMARY:The Wheel V: All Is Well
DESCRIPTION:image: Emma Heiðarsdóttir\n  \nOpening 9 June\, 17:00 at The Nordic House.\nOutdoors sculptures by a group of eight different artists will appear in several Reykjavík neighbourhoods during the festival. The Wheel is a series of outdoors exhibitions held around the city since 2018 by the Reykjavík Association of Sculptors to honour the 50th anniversary of the association. The first exhibition was part of the Reykjavík Arts Festival in 2018 and now the circle will close with the fifth and final installment. This time\, The Wheel will weave its way through areas 101\, 102 and 107\, as artists shed new light on our everyday surroundings. The works displayed are of a varied nature\, provoking a deep study of both area and history while simultaneously examining the more complex social stratification of the cityscape. \nThe Wheel V is a fascinating opportunity to experience the familiar in new ways\, to get to know the works of a truly diverse group of artists and ponder the time and space of the city\, in your own time. \nArtists: Emma Heiðarsdóttir\, Finnur Arnar Arnarson\, Geirþrúður Finnbogadóttir Hjörvar\, Ragnheiður Gestsdóttir\, Sean Patrick O’Brien\, Steinunn Gunnlaugsdóttir\, Ulrika Sparre & Wiola Ujazdowska.\nCurator: Kristín Dagmar Jóhannesdóttir\nReykjavik Association of Sculptors\, exhibition committee: Eygló Harðardóttir\, Haraldur Jónsson\, Una Björg Magnúsdóttir\, Örn Alexander Ámundason\nPartners: Reykjavíkurborg\, Norræna húsið í Reykjavík\, Myndlistarsjóður \n  \n

SUMMARY:Jessica Auer: Landvörður
DESCRIPTION:Since 2016 Jessica Auer has been documenting the impact of mass tourism on Icelandic landscape and society. \nWorking between Canada and her studio in Iceland\, Jessica‘s travels between these countries coincided with the tourism boom and as such\, she navigated the gap between being a foreigner and a local. She saw both sides of the tourist gaze and sought to share this experience through photography and video. \nWhen travel came to a standstill during the pandemic\, Jessica’s work took a significant turn\, reflecting on the value systems of this boom and bust industry. Her most recent photographs turn their attention towards landscape conservation\, and the efforts to protect areas vulnerable to exploitation during the uncertainty of a global pandemic. \nThroughout these last years\, Jessica has travelled around the country with a large format view camera\, capturing portraits of park rangers\, wardens and other people who occupy this environment. \nThese exchanges created the opportunity to discuss the cultural and natural value of the Icelandic landscape. Through portraiture\, landscape photography and video\, the exhibition Landvörður presents a meditation on the collective responsibility of Icelanders and visitors to preserve this unique nature\, and considers the paradox of attempting to preserve the same landscapes that the tourism industry seeks to exploit. \nJessica Auer is a Canadian photographer\, filmmaker and teacher who currently lives in Seyðisfjörður\, Iceland. Her work has been presented in museums\, galleries and festivals\, including The National Museum of Iceland\, The Canadian Center for Architecture and the Mulhouse Photography Biennale in France. In 2020\, Jessica’s portfolio “Looking North” was awarded the Magnús Ólafsson Grant from the Reykjavík Museum of Photography. The same work was published by Another Place Press in 2021 and featured by ARTE television network and The Guardian. Jessica holds an MFA from Concordia University in Montréal\, where she teaches photography part-time. While in Iceland\, she runs Ströndin Studio in East Iceland. \nThe artist would like to thank Kormákur Máni Hafsteinsson and Zuhaitz Akizu for their contributions in the field\, as well as Matthew Brooks and Luigi Iagulli for their assistance with post-production. The exhibition Landvörður was supported by the Canada Council for the Arts and the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec.

SUMMARY:Jessica Auer: Landvörður
DESCRIPTION:Frá árinu 2016 hefur Jessica Auer fengist markvisst við myndræna skrásetningu á áhrifum fjöldaferðamennsku á íslenskt landslag og samfélag. \nJessica ferðaðist milli Kanada og vinnustofu sinnar á Íslandi og fór ekki varhluta af ferðamannauppganginum á þessum tíma og upplifði sig í þeirri stöðu að vera í senn útlendingur og heimamanneskja.  Með því að sjá báðar hliðar með augum ferðamannsins vaknaði hjá henni þörf til að deila þessari reynslu sinni í gegnum ljósmyndir og myndbönd. \nÞegar ferðalög lögðust af í Covid faraldrinum urðu töluverðar breytingar á verkum Jessicu sem hófu að endurspegla gildiskerfi þessa uppgangsiðnaðar. Í flestum nýjustu ljósmyndum hennar beinir hún athyglinni að náttúruvernd og þeim tilraunum sem gerðar eru til að vernda svæði sem eru viðkvæm fyrir ágangi í óvissuástandi heimsfaraldurs. \nÁ undanförnum árum hefur hún ferðast um landið með stórformats myndavél til að taka portrettmyndir af landvörðum og öðrum þeim sem sinna gæslu á þessum svæðum. Þessi samskipti gáfu tækifæri til að spjalla um gildi menningar og náttúru í íslensku landslagi. \nSýningin Landvörður\, með sínum portrettmyndum\, landslagsljósmyndum og myndböndum\, er hugleiðing um þá samábyrgð sem Íslendingar og gestir landsins bera við að vernda þessa einstöku náttúru\, og veltir einnig upp spurningum um þá þversögn sem felst í því að reyna að vernda sömu svæði og ferðamannaiðnaðurinn leitast við að nýta. \nJessica Auer er kanadískur ljósmyndari\, kvikmyndagerðamaður og kennari sem búsett er á Seyðisfirði. Verk hennar hafa verið sýnd á söfnum\, galleríum og hátíðum\, m.a. á Listasafni Íslands\, The Canadian Center for Architecture og á Ljósmyndatvíæringnum í Mulhouse í Frakklandi. Árið 2020 hlaut hún styrk úr sjóði Magnúsar Ólafssonar ljósmyndara frá Ljósmyndasafni Reykjavíkur fyrir verkefni sitt „Looking North” sem var gefið út af Another Place Press árið 2021\, birt á sjónvarpsstöðinni ARTE og í breska dagblaðinu The Guardian. Jessica er með MFA prófgráðu frá Concordia University í Montréal\, þar sem hún kennir ljósmyndun í hlutastarfi. Á Íslandi rekur hún Ströndina Studio á Seyðisfirði. \n  \nJessica vill þakka Kormáki Mána Hafsteinssyni og Zuhaitz Akizu fyrir þeirra framlag sem og Matthew Brooks og Luigi Iagulli fyrir aðstoðina við eftirframleiðslu verkanna. Sýningin var styrkt af Canada Council for the Arts og the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec.

SUMMARY:Ester Jóhannesdóttir: Light Space– Shadow space
DESCRIPTION:Photography becomes easier and more accessible and opposites become clearer as the darkness retreats with increased natural light. \nThe action of photographing or forming light has many manifestations. In the exhibition Light Space– Shadow Space\, natural light is photographed inside building interiors as well as outside in the twilight. That way\, abstract forms and shadows become clearer in the specific frame of the picture plane\, still lyricism is never far away. \nEster Jóhannesdóttir graduated with MFA from the University of Leeds in 2010 and has been creating art for more than thirty years.

SUMMARY:Ester Jóhannesdóttir: Ljósrými – skuggarými
DESCRIPTION:Með aukinni náttúrulegri birtu verður ljósmyndun auðveldari og aðgengilegri og andstæður verða skýrari eftir því sem myrkrið verður minna.\n \nAthöfnin að ljósmynda eða mynda ljós á sér margar birtingamyndir. Í sýningunni Ljósrými – skuggarými er náttúrulegt ljós myndað í innviðum bygginga sem og úti í ljósaskiptunum. Við það myndast abstrakt form og skuggar verða greinilegri í afmörkuðum ramma myndflatarins en þrátt fyrir það er hið ljóðræna aldrei langt undan. \nEster Jóhannesdóttir útskrifaðist með MFA gráðu frá University of Leeds árið 2010 og hefur fengist við listsköpun í yfir 30 ár.
